Enough is enough!

After sifting through 6 pages of BS from people without a clue, somebody finally posted a proper response to the topic. Nothing more to see here, thank you.




I know I am on a PvP server....to be killed in open world is to be expected. But here lately, more and more Republics are camping the Poisonous Strat area and pulling mobs into people who are trying to get their dailies finished. It's not that they just happen to be there, it's the fact that they will sit and camp there for hours on end.

Where is the line drawn between fair PvP play and grieving players?

I'm sure there are Imperial players who are doing the same thing to the Republics, which IMO is not right either. I just want to know, is this legal play or is this a bannable offense?

There was one guy, who has not been around for a long time who sat there 24/7. I guess he was banned because I have not seen him in over a week now. But now that he's gone, there have been others to take his place. Not sure what kind of kicks they are getting out of it, you get nothing out of it. There seems to be no point to this.

Anyone who plays on Prophecy of the Five know exactly what and who I am referring to.

Transfer to a PvE server.

Why? I love the PvP server I am on. I just hate that the NPCs will actually aggro on to us if a player runs into them. You can hit the player trying to grief you, then he will speed run in to two or three Elite mobs...causing those mobs to aggro on you. That is just a borked mechanic if you ask me.

LOL so many things wrong with your post, the biggest being thinking your being griefed on a pvp server, I HIGHLY suggest you transfer if you actually believe that.

You know, if it were not for the fact that EVERY PvPer on our server that I have seen in chat talk about this feels the same way, I would agree with you. Even in PvP there are certain things you just don't do. Exploiting a game mechanic is one of them.

That would be like me telling you, on your PvE server, that if you don't like your PvE server mates Power Leveling and playing like noobs cause they don't know their class, then you should re-roll on a PvP server. When a mechanic is being exploited, it's grieving.

Not sure how anyone could argue with that and hold a straight face while actually expecting anyone with common sense and a bit of intelligence to take you seriously.

I get how you feel, but you've actually been lucky so far.

Despite how everyone seems to have fond memories of Ajunta Pall (R.I.P) I remember that I couldn't do my class missions on Voss because Pubs kept camping the NEUTRAL med center and using AoEs that pulled me into combat. [BW, what were you thinking?!?].

They seemed to camp the med center on a rotation of 5 50s every 8 hours so 15 50s on 3 shifts. I assume that they were no-life losers based on this behaviour.

Interfering with the Illum +2 Heroic? That's annoying but there are Belsavis and BH district Heroics.

I don't know what lines Bioware has put up when comparing PvP and griefing but this isn't exactly anything new. You are on a PvP server and stuff like this will be a daily occurance. The warnings are there about joining a PvP server and the choice was yours. This isn't anything special either considering on just about any other MMO, people will do the same things. The difference is that those people make friends and groups and kill the ******es that are camping instead of coming to the forums to cry.

i saw someone in another thread talking about doing whatever he can to prevent the other faction from progressing. whether it's not people from getting datacrons, to stopping them from killing world bosses and even doing dailies. everything he does to stop the opposing faction from progressing is in essence making his faction stronger.

in a pvp server i say anything goes. especially in an MMO like this where open world pvp is so forgiving. there's no such thing as grieving when you can teleport away and lose nothing from dying.

you really should join a pve server though

I would kill to get someone to actually attack me in open world PVP, and you are complaining. It's an unfair world.

OP Im sorry that you aren't having fun on your chosen server but what you are describing is actually par for the course on PVP servers. Stuff like this is why I stay on PVE servers; way less stressful.
